Glycolysis

Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is a medication hormone and neurotransmitter. This medication is used for a few conditions such as anaphylaxis, cardiac arrest and superficial. Epinephrine also releases a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands that increases rates of blood circulation, breathing, and carbohydrate metabolism and prepares muscles for exertion. this is known as adrenaline. Adrenaline is produced and released from the adrenal glands and its major action, together with…

It is known that an organism can self-regulate and produce energy at a molecular basis within a cell. Catabolic and anabolic chains of events that drive metabolism are mostly successful due the organization of the body. The digestive system is able to absorb nutrients because of the organs such as the stomach; intestine and the liver. Glucose is one of the most important compounds that are needed for cellular respiration in animals, With that said, the liver is graded as an essential organ for…

How is light energy harvested in photosynthesis? - The process where plants use light energy and convert it into chemical energy is called photosynthesis. Plants have parts of them like the chlorophyll that is present inside the chloroplast that soak in light starting a process that will end up making ATP. Carbohydrates within the plants are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. When photosynthesis occurs then sunlight is turned into sugar and this sugar is kept in the molecular bonds of…

SEBASTIAN, Gillian Marie Greyjoy FERMENTATION November 6, 2017 I. DATA AND RESULTS We started the experiment through setting up the materials needed for the experiment. Then we performed the instructions for the experiment given by the teacher. Δ Fist Observation: 0 min – 30 mins In the fermentation bottle, the yeast submerged into the mixture of water and sugar. Subsequently, foam started to form on top of the mixture. It seemed that the yeast started to…

The use of neurons and muscle is utmost for any animal’s survival. The experiment studies the principles of muscle contractions and nerve conductions, and the characteristics of muscle twitches and AP. The nerve and muscle work in conjunction and allow organisms to be motile. Thus looking at the properties and understanding the process has immense influence on science and the world in general. Through the experiment it was determined that an increase in stimulation amplitude in both muscle and…

The Effect of Insulin and Glucagon Before and After Meals Lucy Foley Course number and section Experiment Date Lab Partners Introduction Blood glucose is the preferred energy source for our bodies. Blood glucose is the preferred fuel source for ATP production and neurons absolutely have to have glucose. Other cells can use alternative nutrients, such as fatty acids, glycerol, and amino acids. Without glucose, neurons cannot function meaning humans could seizure and/or die. There are two…

When 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate get reduced, one of the phosphates get split off and 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate is convert to glyceraldehyde 3-bisphosphate, which can then enter glycolysis as a precursor metabolite. In the regeneration phase, some of the glyceraldehyde 3-bisphosphate that was form can be used to convert back to ribulose 5-phosphate through a series of reactions. Ribulose 5-phosphate then get phosphorylated by hydrolysis…

they saw an inhibition of the glucose transport into the neurons and this inhibition was stronger with add of lactate in the culture. This experiment show us that glutamate inhibited glucose transport into the neurons and in consequence inhibited glycolysis, and this is why it become essential for neurons to metabolize lactate as a substrate. So in this case neurons use glucose in the hexose monophosphate pathway to obtain NADP which is used for neurons protection from reactive oxygen species.…

exchange two gases such as taking in oxygen and eliminating it as carbon dioxide. A series of reactions take place in cellular respiration broken down into three stages known as glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and electron transport. In fact, more than two dozen reactions are involved in this metabolic process. Glycolysis and citric acid cycle are involved in the splitting and breaking down of glucose, whereas electron transport is the pathway releasing energy to our…

What does NADH stand for? First off it stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydride. Now NADH is a natural occurring substance that is found in living organisms, with an “H” that actually stand for high energy hydrogen. Now what does this hydrogen have to do with NADH? Well when NAD has this “H” it therefore means it is in the most active biological form possible. NADH is also known as coenzyme 1 in our bodies, and is also the top ranked coenzyme that we have in our body. Since it is…
